Modeling domain vs. modeling code

The 4th OOPSLA workshop on Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM’04) 5

Captures domain knowledge (as opposed to code)– Uses domain abstractions – Applies domain concepts and rules as modeling

constructs– Narrow down the design space– Focus on single range of products

Lets developers design products using domain terms Apply familiar terminology Solve the RIGHT problems! Solve problems only ONCE!
